Yup. Sometimes I'll open up several threads on separate tabs so that I can browse through each of them without having to hit a link first. Inevitably, that's the day it works fine, and when I don't do it the next day, it's down again. But yeah. I just end up going to other sites in the meantime.

Worst thing is if I'm in the middle of typing out a reply and then hit preview or post. It's hit or miss whether I lose what I typed so sometimes I'll copy-paste it into word if I think quickly enough.

Yeah, it's been happening around a month now. It goes on and off between 8-10am, and then later around noon but not as long as in the morning. Sometimes I think it's back, only for it to go out 20 seconds later.

I just expect that from somewhere around 8:30AM to somewhere about 10AM, Eastern time, I won't have access. I come in sometimes early and open a half dozen tabs so I won't run out of 'goofing off' material while the board does its daily ablutions. :-)

If it's the server updating or if it's too many posters logging into the site at peak times, wouldn't it happen every day continuesly? What I don't understand is why the site will be fine for many many months or even a year, and then this issue will pop up again. But I'm no computer expert.

I'm not really bothered by it since I just go to other websites. I just don't understand it.
